These people keep calling me at least once a day soliciting for funds for charities I have never donated to.

Did so as instructed, only to receive another solicitation call 2 days later. Will notify the State's Attorney General's office and let them pursue Telefund.

My caller ID says its from Telrfund Inc. they left no message on my answering machine.

I kept getting a call once a day from this number. Finally answered and it was the Human Rights Campaign. I signed up to received a free bumper sticker from them a month or so ago and they were calling to get financial support.

It is simple to remove your number from Telefund’s List. Email your number to info@telefund.com and request not to be called.

Telefund works on behalf of charities and political groups and exempt from the National Do Not Call List, BUT they keep their own internal list. The call center uses an auto dialer, ignoring the call will only put your number back into the system. The only way to remove your number is to email info@telefund.com, call them back, or pick up the phone when they call.

From Telefund’s website: “Since 1988, our mission has been to raise funds and build support for progressive causes and candidates. Founded and led by individuals with decades of experience with some of the nation’s top progressive causes, we maximize net income and impact for organizations committed to public interest issues. From the day of our founding, we have remained loyal to our mission and distinguished in our field, as public interest organizations and candidates are the only clients we have ever chosen to serve.

We raise money and political support from core lists of donors, run successful acquisition campaigns to build membership, and generate persuasion calls to members in the heat of a political campaign.”

They said they were fund raising for an organization that my family and I had contributed to, but called my sister's phone number as she is part of our family plan and would not talk to her.   We all live in the same household and our phones are under a family plan which is the only way they are tied together (no phone directory listings)  This means that they had to have gotten our information from our cell phone provider.  If that is the case then we will be switching cell providers.  We never contribute over the phone anyway with all of the scammers out there.  We called and left our numbers on the VM, we will see if they really do stop calling.

this caller is a pain in the butt.....I'm on the do not call list for cell phones....no voicemail left..will add number to contacts so I can block it!

I get > 5 calls per day from this telemarketer. How can I stop them?

If you do this then they have your email address.  How dumb do you think we are?

I answered. They asked for Dr. Freeman. Just more GOV intrusion. They are gathering voice recognition. Do not answer!!

Daily calls, often more than one a day, from this number, which identifies itself as Telefund, Inc. WE ARE ON A DO NOT CALL LIST!

if you can leave a message there box is always full

Persistant lady said she was calling me from the "Human Rights Campaign" and thanked me for all my online activism.  I told her not to call me on my personal cell phone and hung up.  I don't do online activism, ever!

caller id said: Telefund Inc.  I don't answer any phone calls unless I know who's calling.

Again, again.... same old [***].  

Received call. There was no one.

see 'sam' above... they called again..

Repeated calls received.  Never leaves a message.  Very annoying.  

8058971183 Calls at all hours, for months.
Dozens of calls.
I have answered, and told them to desist.
They now hang up when I answer.
They are still calling.
My number is on the DNC database.

Like others, multiple calls per day from this #.  Caller hangs up when I answer.  I am also on national do not call list.   Feel a little relieved to know it's not just me.  But too bad these calls are so hard to trace/stop :(
